simulates protein folding in absolute darkness
You spend years coaxing proteins into crystals and fighting noise in electron density maps. Soon, machines will fold the universe.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still justify why the protein crashed out of solution despite perfect conditions.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Robotic fluidics replace your tedious manual pipetting for buffer screening and crystal tray preparation.
Month 5
High-throughput compute clusters take over the particle picking and 3D reconstruction tasks from your desktop.
Month 13
Vision-guided microscopy systems perform autonomous data acquisition and drift correction 24 hours a day.
Year 1.9
Deep learning models replace manual density map building with atomic-level precision and structural verification.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
Your access to the structural database is revoked as the system achieves self-optimizing molecular insights.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
